We are thrilled to announce that AUM hOMe Shala'sYoga Therapy Certification program has just received accreditation by the International Association of Yoga Therapy (IAYT).

IAYT accreditation is a rigorous process that measures programs by a set of educational standards that define the foundational knowledge and skills required for the safe and effective practice of yoga therapy. AUM Home Shala's Yoga Therapy Certification Program is thus far one of only 15 yoga therapy training programs nationwide to be given this seal of approval.

AUM's Yoga Therapy Community Clinic provided me with a detailed set of yoga protocols and an amazing range of strategies for thriving. It's a true sanctuary devoted to integrative healing.

I haven't been able to get through a yoga class since undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy. My yoga therapist's ability to adjust the postures, in gentle yet precise ways, is remarkable! It gives me hope that I may continue to restore my flexibility and mobility.

I am participating in the clinical program and am excited by the results after only two sessions. My instructor is wonderful and the Shala is a beautiful, serene place to have healing happen! I am so thankful for the help I am receiving.

Feeling amazing after my last [yoga therapy] session, and was very happy to tell my best friend and family that I'm making great improvement.

For the first time, I have reached my weight-loss goal, and I couldn't have done it without Melinda! She helped me get mentally focused and truly changed my life. I have so much to thank her for.

Yoga therapy taught me how to communicate with my own body. I can now alleviate pain as well as prevent it from returning.

I cherish my time at AUM, learning and experimenting with other great people.

Our Mission:

With a focus on “unity in diversity” and the acceptance of different approaches to yoga, AUM hOMe Shala’s mission is to promote knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of yoga, through teaching, research, and training yoga teachers and yoga therapists.

We further our mission, which is non-discriminatory and ecumenical in nature, through the expansion and development of programming, trainings, community clinics, symposiums, and outreach initiatives in universities, schools, and health-care facilities—all aimed at shifting paradigms through the use of yoga, yoga therapy, and meditation. Our ongoing research activities are designed to validate the positive impact of yoga on all aspects of life.
